HLA class I gene polymorphism in genetic hemochromatosis

Abstract

The authors have studied HLA class I polymorphism in an attempt to identify a genomic marker of the hemochromatosis gene. Five enzymes were used (HindIII, EcoRI, EcoRV, PvuII, and HincII) in 47-106 unrelated patients and 71-91 controls. Both populations were HLA-typed. The relationship between the restriction fragments and HLA-A antigens was considered. Comparison of the two groups revealed a significantly high frequency of one 14 kb EcoRI fragment among the HLA-A3 hemochromatosis patients. The fragment hybridizes to an HLA-A specific probe but not to an HLA-B specific probe, and is associated with the hemochromatosis gene, which is itself associated with HLA-A3.
